Greetings to the beautiful holy town of @SteemChurch, faithful brothers in Christ. May God our Father pour out his grace and peace upon you.
On this beautiful day I write you about one of the teachings that Jesus left us through his prophets of the Bible, and they are teachings in which I have delighted learning them because it has been what has helped me keep my spiritual eyes open in this time, to have a clear understanding of the world in which we live, to be clear about the causes and consequences of our own actions, why? And for what? things happen. We must activate our spiritual discernment to be able to study our enemy, Know what your strategies are and how you will achieve victory once you defeat it. You are a warrior, a victor, a conqueror.

To conquer you must have a communion with God and have a communion with God, is to have a close relationship with him without having to put so many requests in front of him because he already knows what you and I have need, because it really is like that, and we need that intimate relationship with God to be able to be strengthened in the spirit and enter into spiritual warfare, to then be able to conquer. How many likes the war? It's not easy right? but let me tell you that you are already in a war, every day you have to fight spiritual battles because you simply live in a world full of evil.
We are children of God, he has given us the possibility of sitting at the table with him, eating with him at his table. God can bless you with everything you want, all you need is to act according to what he teaches you through his word, pray, intercede, make spiritual war and conquer.
It is time church that you rise up as that people of God that you are, it is time for God to touch your heart, it is time to wake up from that lethargy so you can receive all the blessings fully and beat the enemy.
We must exercise with great caution our power in spiritual warfare, taking care to do it correctly and against the right enemy.
FIRST, "Identify the position and condition of the Christian":
To understand what the apostle says about spiritual warfare, we must revise the previous chapters such as the following:
Ephesians 2: 6 and together with him raised us up, and also made us sit in the heavenly places with Christ Jesus, The fact that we are sitting with Christ at the right hand of the Father, is a divine act, which arises from his "love" , "Mercy", "grace" and "goodness" (2: 4, 5, 7, 8).
Just as we put all our weight on a chair when we sit on it, even when God sits us down with Christ, we are putting the full weight of our salvation on divine grace.

SECOND, "Behavior of the Christian":
"I beseech you that you walk worthy of the calling with which you were called" (4: 1). We Christians should not limit ourselves to just sitting comfortably on the throne. Grace does not encourage passivity, but enables active obedience to God's command: "We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them" (2:10).
THIRD, being firm describes "our attitude towards the enemy":
"Put on the whole armor of God, so that you can stand firm against the snares of the devil" (6:11). Christian walking is not a walk in a park. Ephesians 6: 10-13 clearly points out that the walk of the Christian is the long and hard effort that the battle against evil means. And in a battle, the goal is to not give ground: to fall is to lose, but to stand firm is to succeed.
If we bear in mind this teaching, we see that spiritual warfare, far from being the extraordinary activity of a spiritual elite, is the ordinary life of every Christian that God has saved by grace, sanctified in obedience and sent to proclaim the Gospel before a lost world, in full pain, suffering, and agony.
Therefore, to be a Christian is to be in a state of war.
However, fighting the spiritual war, and much more to achieve victory in it is something that is far above the capacity of human beings.
Victory is in the hands of a power superior to ours. That is why Paul exhorts us, saying: "Strengthen yourselves in the Lord, and in the power of his strength" (6:10). Only God can win this war. Victory is ours only if we are in Him.
Many blessings for my beloved brothers in Christ Jesus Our Lord, until the next chapter.

In the same way that the Israelites had to face a series of difficulties to take the promised land, having to overcome various enemies, we will also have to go through different situations that will put us to the test, but if we stand firm in the Lord, we will leave strengthened, growing spiritually. Strive to grow. Growing up is the key word to take the spiritual blessings that God has already given us.
It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we will be able to obtain all spiritual blessings. God gives them to us unconditionally, but the possession of them is something conditional, and depends on us.
If we want to grow day after day in our Christian life, we must leave our place of comfort and go out in search of those blessings.
